We have taken lessons from Musicians in Motion for years, starting with in-home violin lessons. Currently my daughter is taking guitar lessons with Thomas at the south Charlotte location and he is absolutely wonderful. She can’t wait for her lessons each week and she is improving so quickly! I highly recommend!Posted on Google Jacqueline Fish (Jacqueline)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started piano lessons as an “adult learner” after years of searching for a hobby and creative interest for myself. Thomas is fabulous - he is an excellent teacher and is patient, setting achieveable weekly goals for me (a mom of 2 young kiddos). So glad I’m doing this for myself and really thankful for this studio.Posted on Google Madison SinkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Posted on Google Liz sanicolaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I loved having my 7 year old daughter learn how to play the guitar, the piano and the drums along with her fellow classmates. My daughter really liked the instructor as he had a cheerful personality. Due to changes on our scheduled routines we had stop the classes, but we hope to comeback soon.Posted on Google Mindi ThinnesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son started private piano lessons at another place. The other place wasn’t as warm and welcoming as Musicians in Motion. From my first phone call to his first lesson it was a major change. It is welcoming and meets the child where they are in their lessons. He has already improved his playing and even did great at his first recital, he is excited to keep coming back for his lessons with Thomas.Posted on Google Kara HillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughters absolutely love their music lessons with Musicians in Motion. The staff has been so friendly and accommodating. They are so easy to contact and have no issue with accommodating our needs. We highly recommend music lessons with this amazing team!Posted on Google Manju GoyalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely love these folks.
